The Rorists^ Review 



January 12. 1922 



quarantine 37. Now many nurseries in 

 the east are confronted with the proba- 

 bility of a restraint of their trade be- 

 cause no remedy yet exists to kill such 

 pests while in the ground without kill- 

 ing the roots of the plant. Our govern- 

 ment has lately been spending large 

 sums experimenting with gases that are 

 heavier than air, that they might bo 

 used in war. Is there not a possibility 

 that among these gases are some that 

 could be placed on the soil around an 

 evergreen about to be dug, which would 

 kill insect life in the area that would be 

 balled and burlapped, thus making the 

 plant so treated safe to ship anywhere 

 without danger of being a pest-carrier? 

 This is now done successfully with peach 

 borer. No efficient prevention against 

 balled evergreens carrying pests was 

 known at the time of quarantine 37; 

 none is known yet. With pests threat- 

 ening that may be carried while in the 

 soil, have not this association and other 

 associations of nurserymen, as well as 

 those of florists, an interest and a re- 

 sponsibility to help our entomologists 

 to secure appropriations for experiments 

 that if successful will make the moving 

 of balled plants and all potted florists' 

 stock safe at all times, and under all 

 conditions, possible. 



Means of Cooperation. 



There is to be held in Washington, 

 January 27, a farm conference called at 

 the suggestion of the president, to which 

 are to be invited representatives from 

 varied agricultural interests. Among 

 these interests are the nurserymen. The 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 should be invited to have one or more 

 delegates present; I have no doubt that 

 such an invitation will be received from 

 Secretary Wallace within the next few 

 days. When that gathering convenes 

 there will be in some of the committees 

 that are set to work upon the large prob- 

 lem before the conference an oppor- 

 tunity to submit requests for legislation 

 that nurserymen want. Among these 

 requests I believe are reasonable de- 

 mands for an amendment to the plant 

 quarantine act of 1912, for the provid- 

 ing of inspection at principal ports of 

 entry, for experimentation in ways 

 to destroy injurious pests while in the 

 ground. This latter ought to be possible, 

 as the nurserymen now have secured up- 

 wards of $60,000 for experiments to as- 

 certain if fruit tree seedlings may be 

 grown successfully in this country. 

 Then, too, we could perhaps find oppor- 

 tunity at that conference to get written 

 into the recommendations the principle 

 that compensation, under right restric- 

 tions, shall be given horticulturists when 

 their products are denied a market be- 

 cause of pest regulations.
